that with the completion of this line, and the
reorganization OF the Wabash, connections
would be made between the two roads, using
the new Chicago, Burlington Il Quincy
bridge at this place for that purpose. Upon

bridge would not be completed within year,
but recently the entire force has been
doubled and the structure will now be in
readiness by July next.

Best Use of Corn Fodder

A correspondent inquiries for brief
statement of the advantage as we'll as
of the drawbacks of keeping corn fod-
der in silo, as compared with other
modes Of preserving and feeding. In
answer, we would in the first place,
never feed the stalks whole under any
circumstances, for more than hall the
value is thus lost, and the resulting
manures, mixed with long fibre, Is diff
fcult to handle till it has rotted half
a year. This reduces the question to
a comparison between the succulent
feed of ensilage, and the dry fodder OF
cut stalks cured in the field. We have
found comparatively little difference
in the feeding value in these two con
ditions, in either case being over twice
as great as feeding the stalk whole.
The peculiar advantages of covering
the fodder to ensilage, are:
1. The facility with which it is cut,
drawn in and chopped for the silo, in
all weather except heavy rains.
2. Avoiding the care and labor oil
placing in shocks aDd protecting from
injury by the weather.
8. The greater ease with which the
succulent stalks are chopped.
4. The comparatively small space
they occupy, 100 tons Of ensilage oc-
cupying no more space than 20 or 80
tons uncut.
5. The security from spelling in the
field, or moulding in the stack or bay.
6. The advantage of succulent feed
for COWS in winter.
The essential requisites for success
are, good horse or steam cutter, con-
nected with a carrier to the sllo a
suitable wagon On which the stalks
are placed when cut for drawing in,
at one operation and the same level
for the silo and the COW stalls, for
case of feeding.
The draw backs are, the labor re-
quired for filling the silo occurring at
nearly the same time that land must
be prepared for winter grain, and the
expense of constructing the silo.
The advantages of preserving the
stalks dry, and chopping them in
winter for feeding are, the compare
tive season Of leisure for doing this
work and avoiding the cost of build
ing the silo. The disadvantages are,
the greater labor required for chop
ping up the hard and dry stalks; and
the difficulty of preserving the stalks
uninjured by the weather.
Every one will compare for himself
the preceding advantages and draw
backs, bearing in mind at the same
time that new operations often fail for
want of the skill and CUnveniences on
ly attained by experience and by the
omission of essential requirements
Enterprising farmers, in many cases,
will prefer to prepare and feed their
stalks in the shape of ensilage; others
will adopt the practice of cutting their
dry stalks short and fine as they are
needed while others again, and those
who will greatly outvote all the rest
in numbers, will continue in the waste
full practice of feed the stalks whole,
after they are more or lees blackened
by exposure to autumn rains.

Agricultural Notes.

A cunning statist estimates that
three weeds Of moderate size and
growth will occupy as much ground,
draw as much nutriment from it, take
in as much Of the life giving sunlight
and of the food bearing atmosphere as
a good stalk of corn.
My young heifers, after they are with
calf, | prefer to keen in lot by them.
selves, apart alike from the old cows
and younger animals. They thrive
and do better and are less liable to
injuries from various causes than if
allowed to run with other stock pro-
mlscuously.
A discussion has been going on in
an exchange as to the cost of making
honey for market. We are not able
to see that anything Is determined by
it further than that it costs more in
some places that in others, and more
in the hands Of some producers than
in those Of others.
The harrow should follow closely
after the pillow, especially in hot, dry
ing weather. The soil on the newly
turned furrow is exposed to the air
and the warmth of the sun, and dries
ont quickly. Early in the spring this
is beneficial, but later it becomes and
continues to be a. disadvantage
through the warmest weather.
Many of the new varities of grain
coming on the market from time to
time are, in fact, old sorts under the
name, or improvements upon old sorts
80 slight as to leave the principal
characteristic unchanged. Especially
in this the case with wheat, of which,
while an endless number of brands
are before the public, there are, after
all, but few distinct types.
The relative advantages of these two
methods of feeding are often discussed
in the columns of the press, but there
is no higher authority to appeal to for
decision. than experiment. This mat
ter has been tried at the Maine Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, with the
result that about 8 per cent. more of
the organic matter of the ground corn
was digested and used than of the
whole corn ; and, farther, that the diff
ference existed in the most valuable
the albuminoid-p principles.
Where winter rye is sown to be
plowed under, tits important that the
plowing be not delayed much, if any,
after the seed stalks shoot up They
soon become hard and woody, thus
not decaYing much more rapidly than
straw. 1t is not the bulk of green
manure turned under that gives its
chief value, but its succulence. There
is as much water in green rye just be.
fore the straw shoots up as there is
after. One of the advantages from
this method of manuring is that it
greatly helps to clean the land of
weeds. They germinate freely when
the rye is sown, aud do not have an
opportunity to ripen seeds as they
can when rye is sown for grain crop.

LNTELLEG ENCEIN RAISING
POULTRY.

Many persons suppose that to
"ksep chickens requires but little
knowledge, and that all that is neces-
sary is coop, a yard, few hens,
and the eggs will be collected with
out any assistance on the part of the
owners. Now the fact is that more
experience and knowledge are
necessary to make poultry raising a
business than In dairying or general
farming A small flock will assist
itself, with the fopd it receives in
the shape of scraps from the table,
but when one undertakes to make a
business of keeping large numbers
1T will be a surprise to learn that,
with our population of 10000, 600,
there are not dozen large poultry
farms In the United States. The
peultryman who reads the poultry
departments of the agricultural
journals, and who endeavors to in
form himself regarding the breeds,
and their characteristics, as well as
of the art of feeding and caring for
the fows, will make fewer mistakes,
and IN the end be more successful,
than those who depend upon them
selves entirely. There is always
something to learn What may
be truth to-day may be error to-mor-
NOW. The intelligent poultryman
keeps himself well informed on all
the matters that relate to poultry,
and if he is not successful at first he
soon learns to. guard against mis-
takes.

A real man is rare man. Most
men are as much like other men, and
as little like themselves as can be.
Only now and then does man ap-
pear to be himself, or wish to be
himself and such man is always a
man worthy of remarks. S. Times.
Yes, sometimes of unkind remark.
A man of marked individuality, even
if his marks be all good marks, will
sometimes be repudiated and cast
out by a set of common men, who
seem to imagine that he is to be
blamed for not being as common as
themselves. A man who is really
himself and nobody else, must pay
tax for his distinction and be un-
popular for a time, while the man who
either is one of the crowd, or goes
with the crowd, is exalted. But the
distinction is worth what 1t costs,
after all.-Christian Index.

WHAT TR UE MERIT WILL
M

The unprecedented saleo of Boschee's
German Syrup within few years,
has astonished the world. 1t is with
out doubt the safest and best reme-
dy ever discovered for the speedy
and effectual cure of Coughs, Colds
and the severest Lung troubles. It
acts on an entirely different princi-
pie from the usual prescriptions
given by the physicians, as it does
not dry up a Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on
contrary removes the cause of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in purely healthy con-
dition. A bottle kept in the house
for use when the diseases make their
appearance, will save Doctors bills
and long spell Of serious illness. A
trial will convince you of these facts.
1t is positively sold by all druggists
and general dealers in the land.
